March is Women’s History Month and this year we will be highlighting some of the as-yet untold women’s history stories we’ve uncovered through our research for this project. More on that to come. In the meantime, take a minute during this month to honor those women who’ve made an impact on your life and your world. And, if you want to get connected to the women’s history beyond your immediate circle, here are some great resources (other than this web site) to do just that.
Happy Women’s History Month!

A note about the photo — Frances Willard learned to ride the bicycle at the age of 50. She wrote a pioneering book called A Wheel Within a Wheel about the experience, highlighting the great joy and freedom she found while riding. This book was the first written by a woman about a sporting activity. Willard was always ahead of everyone, even in women’s sports!
